The NRL season launched last night on Nine to an average audience of 463,000 metro viewers, with 747,000 around the country watching the Melbourne Storm defeat the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Nine narrowly won the evening with a 27.1% network share against Seven’s 26.3%, and Ten’s 21.4%, but lost the 8:30pm time slot to Ten’s Gogglebox, which pulled 554,000 viewers across the capital cities and won in the three key advertising demographics.
